John 12:18-21 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.

19. Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: "Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him."

20. Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.

21. Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
